A New York Times bestseller
In this triumphant memoir, Carl Bernstein, the Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of All the Presidentâs Men and pioneer of investigative journalism, recalls his beginnings as an audacious teenage newspaper reporter in the nationâs capitalâa winning tale of scrapes, gumshoeing, and American bedlam.
In 1960, Bernstein was just a sixteen-year-old at considerable risk of failing to graduate high school. Inquisitive, self-taughtâand, yes, truantâBernstein landed a job as a copyboy at the Evening Star, the afternoon paper in Washington. By nineteen, he was a reporter there.
In Chasing History: A Kid in the Newsroom, Bernstein recalls the origins of his storied journalistic career as he chronicles the Kennedy era, the swelling civil rights movement, and a slew of grisly crimes. He spins a buoyant, frenetic account of educating himself in what Bob Woodward describes as âthe genius of perpetual engagement.â
Funny and exhilarating, poignant and frank, Chasing History is an extraordinary memoir of life on the cusp of adulthood for a determined young man with a dogged commitment to the truth.
